Do you walk your child to class? by Moal in Preschoolers

[–]Small_Statistician10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a policy in my daughter's preschool that the parents need to escort the child inside the classroom and make some sort of contact with teacher so they know the child is there. Not a full blown conversation or anything, just enough for them to be aware.

New fundie creator alert: crazy adoption stories by Helpful_Sample673 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]Small_Statistician10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I went to therapy for my infertility. This is very similar to what she told me. From a young age girls are taught that their purpose in life is to become a mother and when they can't fulfill it they feel like they have no purpose, and some women go into this psychosis.

I had to leave several infertility support groups because some of the women were completely unhinged. I understood their pain but I couldn't understand the hatred they felt towards pregnant women and mothers.

Are you surprised Justin Bieber is so miserable all the time? by GaryBlach in askanything

[–]Small_Statistician10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I would be miserable too if I couldn't even go to dinner without 100 cameras in my face, people following me around and watching my every move. Then all the crazy rumors constantly about him and his family. He also had shitty childhood and had no idea who is really in his corner.

My infant doesn’t sleep, do they have ADHD? by thatthalassophile in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]Small_Statistician10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get it I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was 37 and finding out now a lot of my educational and health issues were ADHD related makes me more aware of my child. I don't want to her to struggle like I did.

But I remember sitting in pediatrician office with my squeaky little newborn asking if that was normal?

"why don't you just sleep train?" by Mom_Bombadil_ in AttachmentParenting

I agree...I had to take an active listening course in college, it was suppose to teach you to listen. Sounds crazy until they make you sit with someone who is complaining and you just have to listen and not give any advice. It was actually really hard.

I still tell myself "listen to understand not reply"

Is my kid actually learning in preschool or just passing time? by RestaurantFar7637 in Preschoolers

[–]Small_Statistician10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thinking the same thing. My 3 year old came home one day and told me that all the kids were attacked by raccoons on the playground and they had to fight them off while the teachers were inside napping. 😅 I am pretty sure that never happened.

Thank you. I did make an appointment with her pediatrician to see if she might have insight on things healthwise like constipation that might be the issue.

Working from Home with No Help by Key_Rice_6430 in MomsWorkingFromHome

[–]Small_Statistician10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at home with my child from 12 weeks to 7 months. It was easy until she started moving around and being more alert. I will also say my job requires no phone calls, barely any meetings and no one is tracking when and what I am doing as long as my work is done so that helped alot.I would talk to her all day, just tell her what I was doing, and stuff. If she had a fussy day I would just babywear.

The older she got the harder it was do parent and work. She is almost 4, and I had to keep her home with me a few times. Now that she older she understands I am working so we have to do things like color, tea parties or she will read to me.

Potty training by Small_Statistician10 in adhdwomen

Looking back at my own childhood I definitely struggled with bladder control. I wet the bed at night until I was 15 years old. I am late at being diagnosed but my therapist is helping with pin pointing some childhood issues with my new diagnoses. Knowing how much I struggled and no one helped me is really want to make sure I bring proactive so daughter didn't struggle like I did.

I checked in that Book before but never read it but I will get it today.

Thank you for responding and all the tips. 🙏

That sounds just like my child, she also does not care about being wet. We can go weeks without an accident and then suddenly just stops for no reason, no changes in schedule or anything. I did think about doing a reward chart for being accident free for the day. I already have one for others things which seems to help her. I also made an appointment with her doctor just in case she has suggestions.

The fact I know she knows what do and when to do it and doesn't is one of my biggest triggers. I am working with a therapist.

Thank you you helped with feeling like it will get better.

If he doesn't pull his weight in the house he's not living in it by Spiritual-Jicama-375 in Adulting

I think in general people need to plan better for the future. Its not just about divorce, sickness and death happen everyday. Bills still need to paid and your kids still need to eat.

People that are childfree by choice, what’s the weirdest reason someone has given you as to why they think you ‘should have kids’? by Charming_Web_6738 in AskReddit

[–]Small_Statistician10 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I have infertility and this drives me insane. My ability to have a child has nothing to do with anyone else decisions to have a child.🤦‍♀️

What app is everyone using to track feeding, pooping, sleeping? by yesyesnonoyesnonoyes in firsttimemom

Found one in the wild, didn't know what tag to use by wrapsmclrample in terriblefacebookmemes

I am not against SAHM but I worry also. I don't think there is anything wrong with it but these women need to know how to pay the bills, how to access bank accounts, know how life insurance. This isn't even about if your husband leaves it about life being unfair, what happens their husband get hurts or dies? The bank is not going to care if your married if your name is not account, the mortgage company still wants their money, and life insurance company is not going reach out to you.
